Early life

Evans was born in Boston, Massachusetts,[4] and raised in the town of Sudbury.[5] His mother, Lisa (née Capuano), is an artistic director at the Concord Youth Theater,[6][7] and his father, G. Robert Evans III, is a dentist.[8]

Career

Evans's first credited appearance was in a short educational video titled Biodiversity: Wild About Life! in 1997.[15] In 1999, Evans was the model for "Tyler" in Hasbro's board game Mystery Date. The special edition of the game included an electronic phone, which Evans is shown speaking into on the game box.[16]

Evans said in March 2014 that once his contract with Marvel is up, he might consider doing less acting so he could work more on directing.[37][33] In September 2015, he said that he would be willing to sign on for more films as Captain America after Infinity War if Marvel wanted to extend his contract.[38] However, he has since stated that he will leave the role after the fourth Avengers film.[39]

Evans is a supporter of marriage equality. In 2012, he said “Are you kidding me? It’s insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age. It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.” [44]

While filming Gifted in 2015, Evans adopted a dog named Dodger from a local animal shelter the movie filmed at.[46]

Evans dated actress Jenny Slate for nine months until they broke up in early 2017.[47] They got back together in the fall of 2017, but Evans confirmed in March 2018 that they had separated once more.[48]
